Tesla advertises Autopilot as being capable of "automatic steering, acceleration and braking" and even allows for the "full potential for autonomous steering." But at the same time, Tesla states these functions still require "active driver monitoring." The Munich Association believes Tesla's advertising leads to false ideas and wants the company banned from continuing to promote the system as "Autopilot."
"This is a serious disadvantage for vehicle manufacturers who comply with advertising regulations," said lawyer and CEO Andreas Ottofulling.
This isn't the first time the Munich Association has taken Tesla to court. Back in early 2019, it successfully argued Tesla could no longer advertise the Model 3 with prices "according to estimated savings" because it misled potential stakeholders and even violated information regulation.
